Monnette Sudler - In My Own Way

I was streaming this on Spotify and though I was enjoying the music a lot I was really annoyed by the bad sq. Was this recorded so badly or is this one of those Spotify mistakes? Anyone with the cd here to check?

This one? I cannot imagine a Steeplechase release sounding bad, especially since it was recorded in Copenhagen.

My thoughts exactly and most of the tracks are studio material. I thought maybe someone round here could confirm

What is the nature of the problem you are hearing?

I didn't listen to it all but there were a lot of tinkling bells on one track I found irritating.

Other than that it sounds ok on amazon music IMO

Maybe it is the source or transfer of the streaming service?

Just overall bad quality of the sound and the backing instruments sound way too low in the mix. But you’re post confirms that’s its probably the streaming quality of the files on Spotify and not in the record itself. I have even stumbled on a track that skipped multiple times on Spotify a few months okay so it’s an occuring problem and probably the reason some people choose Tidal or Qobuz
